Abstract
Alveolar bone resorption after extraction impairs the necessary bone volume and complicates the case for implant surgery and aesthetic implant prosthesis. Immediate implant surgery after extraction decreases the number of surgical procedures and the duration of treatment, while allowing minimum alveolar bone resorption and preserving the residual bone volume. Although immediate implant holds many advantages such as preservation of hard and soft tissue around the extraction socket, greater implant survival rate and higher patient satisfaction, various complications and high failure rate are discouraging factors for the clinicians. In this case report, severe alveolar bone resorption with soft tissue changes were predicted after the extraction of prolonged retained deciduous incisors and impacted maxillary canines and thus decided on immediate implant procedure. Immediate implant surgery after extraction was carried out with minimal bone reduction and tapered wide-neck implant to establish initial stability. Simultaneous bone graft was done by filling the defect area with iliac cancellous bone with additional onlay-type bone graft and absorbable membrane on the labial bone for upper lip support. A stable and esthetic result was obtained with shortened treatment period.
저자들은 본 증례의 경우 치근이 흡수된 전치와 매복 견치의 발치 후 심한 치조골의 흡수와 연조직의 변화가 예상되는 것을 고려하여 발치 후 즉시 임플란트 수술을 결정하였다. 초기 안정성을 확보하기 위해 가능한 적은 골삭제, 보다 큰 직경과 치근형태의 임플란트를 선택하여 발치 후 즉시 임플란트를 식립하였고, 장골에서 채취한 망상골로 골결손부를 채우고 부가적으로 상순 지지를 위해 흡수성 차폐막과 순측 골면에 onlay형태의 골이식술을 시행하여 자연스럽고 심미적인 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
